Gardeners' Notes:

In my very windy garden, 'Dwarf Scarlet Bees' (which I originally purchased labelled 'Dwarf Bees') has more of a vining habit than it seems to have for most people, reaching about 5 feet in an average year and benefiting from being staked. It is a simply lovely plant, so beautiful that it could easily be planted in a flower bed instead of a bean patch. Bees love it!

This is an absolutely beautiful edible ornamental. I've used them amongst flower beds before. They are good to eat as snap beans or as dried beans from my experience. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find the seeds for 3 years now.
